WT study article for April 30-6 "Help People to Awake from Sleep"
by thecrushed in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i found this article to be quite ironic!

here is the pdf for the lesson http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/w_e_20120315.pdf.

i had to endure this at the kh today and wondered if everyone would like to have fun picking the mind control and other nonsense out of this lesson.

Hello... this is me and my story...
by jamir in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was raised as a jw, baptized in a 1998 district convention, somewhere in portugal.. studying with jws had some positive things (not many... just a few).

i learned to read before going to school and developed this excelent skill of reading, interpreting and resuming texts.

i was an excellent student.. as a teenager my life sucked (and i considered it a "privilege" at that time) because i simply couldn't enjoy these best years of my life, because had to avoid all contact with people of my age (there were no young people in my congregation) so i lived the best years of my life as a "forever alone".

dear friends,.

it has been a long time since i have posted.

time heals much pain, and finally, my family and i have been able to move on with our life outside of jw land.. many of you became our friends, our support system, and you know very well our exit story...we were labeled, slandered and disfellowshipped for having questions regarding the date 607. we sent out letters exposing the elders and circuit overseer to over 200 families.

Are there any songs that remind you of being a jw ?
by man in black in
1. jw
2. experiences
.

this afternoon the song music box dancer came on the radio and i was instantly transported back to 1978 when my best jw friend got married.. this was "their" song ,, they are now divorced and one of them left the religion and is remarried.. another song that makes my skin crawl from a jw standpoint is mambo # 5.. there was an elder from my old hall, j. renfroe who always was telling the young people what music was acceptable for them to listen to.. and this guy was just so opinionated regarding everything.. so one time at a wedding this song comes on and he starts dancing almost uncontrollably.

it was agony to watch, and i ( and many others felt embarrassed for him because of how he was dancing and how his self rightous opinions seemed to be thrown to the wind this evening.. any other examples of music that became tainted from a jw experience ?.

whats the worst thing youve done during a meeting?

years ago, when i was a bit more wicked/naughty/younger than i am now, i thought i would take some drugs just prior to the meeting to see if it would make things any more interesting.

it didnt, but at least i enjoyed the kingdom melodies tapping my foot to the beat and bopping my head!!
